Piz Titschal
An enjoyable and relatively easy tour, the first half through the forest and then lots of open, unspoilt scenery. Descent is either by the same route, or as a variation you can descend east via Schwarzsee to the Gronda valley and Meierhof. It is also possible to continue to Piz Lad (WS), from where a more difficult but beautiful descent is possible (ZS) to the south east via Blausee into the Grond valley (not shown on the topo here). Care is needed with conditions, the slopes are steep
Take a bus or car to the small village of St. Martin and start at the entrance to the village at the bottom of the hill where a small stream crosses the road and a track leads up to the left. Parking for about 4 cars.
The route is marked with posts the whole way, and is popular, so usually has a trail. Follow the track from the road that will lead you to the huts of Wasmen, cutting the corners and taking a more diect line where possible. Continue upwards keeping the forest to your right until you eventually emerge at a clusterof huts at 2000m. Continue easily in a south westerly direction to reach a few outcrops where the route steepens, but never excessively. A couple of kick turns at 2450m lead you to the summit and fine views. Descend either by the same route, back to St Martin, or head east to Val Grond which can followed to Meierhof, via the hamlet of Zarzana.
